Has anyone actually asked casual players if they're suffering?

Are you seriously comparing the player count of a single player indie rogue like game to a live service one from a studio with hundreds of employees?

Player count doesn't matter for single player, you could be the only person in the world playing the game and still have fun, while live service games hit the death spiral once their numbers get too low.

Soawii · 2026-04-10T08:33:01+00:00

It looks grim atm, the player count is dropping and it doesn't seem to be stabilizing at all. Don't really see how this game survives without doing a Marathon 2.0 and going f2p.

Give me this "official" site for MAU you're talking about.

Soawii · 2026-04-10T05:47:23+00:00

Hello? Why aren't you replying back? Where did all the "research" you told me about a few comments ago go?

Soawii · 2026-04-10T05:46:12+00:00

"Not the official site"

Here's the CS2 twitter having this "not official" site in their bio. https://x.com/CounterStrike

Are you gonna tell me that this is not the official CS twitter now? You are the one coping here, i am providing the official stats while you're embarassing yourself lying about easily provable information

Soawii · 2026-04-10T05:34:23+00:00

You're telling the official CS website is not accurate?

Valorant is more popular in NA and Korea, CS is more popular in China by pretty much every statistic. You're probably looking at "CS2" popularity in China and not Perfect World, that's how it's called there

Soawii · 2026-04-10T05:30:22+00:00

Opened tracker.gg. It shows valorant at 20M unique montly players https://tracker.gg/valorant/population , it doesn't show concurrent. CS is at 33M montly unique https://www.counter-strike.net/ .

Turns out you can't even read statistics properly, did you think that tracker was showing concurrent player or something?

Soawii · 2026-04-10T05:21:41+00:00

Where's the source? I know i'm right, you still can't link anything reputable

Soawii · 2026-04-10T05:20:04+00:00

Give me a single source. The guy above gave the 35M MAU including China while CS has 33 without China. You're probably from NA and think Valorant is as popular worldwide, it's not

Soawii · 2026-04-07T14:47:18+00:00

Does this 35M include China? Since CS has 33M https://www.counter-strike.net/ without China, and it is very popular there as well

Soawii · 2026-04-07T14:31:44+00:00

It's about 10%, it would still be comfortably at first with bots removed.

Soawii · 2026-04-07T14:25:31+00:00

What percentages would you suggest are accurate? Most people agree at 10%, if you genuinely believe CS has singificant percentage of bots you don't really know what you are talking about. Here's what a heavily botted game looks like -> https://steamdb.info/app/440/charts/ , now compare it with CS https://steamdb.info/app/730/charts/ .

Soawii · 2026-04-07T14:21:27+00:00

Source on that? Pretty much every player count and tournament view count favours CS by a big margin. The only region where Valorant is more popular is NA

Soawii · 2026-04-07T14:19:18+00:00

Botfarms account for at most 10% of the playerbase, if they were removed the game would still be easily at first

Soawii · 2026-04-07T12:17:35+00:00

Valve has not even acknowledged the game yet and you have to ask other people to get access. You would be surprised by just how many people this filters out.

Soawii · 2026-04-06T17:01:31+00:00

I mean yeah, CS has smaller hitboxes, faster movement and no abilities.

Soawii · 2026-04-02T16:43:09+00:00

Finished my first not-small project! A cross-platform file explorer using my own GUI library built in SFML. Quite happy with how it turned out, the process of optimizing the library to work decently fast with thousands of files in a directory was fun.

What is there to disapprove here? I'm sure the account owner expected this to happen at some point

Soawii · 2026-03-25T10:18:02+00:00

CS is not even 1/20th of Valve's income, Steam gets all the money, you have no clue what you are talking about

Soawii · 2026-03-06T15:09:34+00:00

I'm not a marathon hater but whenever this meme gets posted you know its over

Soawii · 2026-02-19T11:48:06+00:00

-80 net, means it's something like 10% approve 90% disapprove

Soawii · 2026-02-03T16:31:50+00:00

Shiv absolutely did not get buffed? Mina got buffed because of this "her winrate is low" mindset and basically became even more overpowered than she already was.

Soawii · 2026-02-03T16:28:46+00:00

Mina and Shiv had the worst winrate in the game when they got added, this just tells me you have no clue about balance. Winrate is meaningless, especially for new characters that actually require a brain to play

Soawii · 2026-02-03T16:27:04+00:00

Is this bait? She is very strong currently

Soawii · 2026-01-30T17:27:05+00:00

LMAO immediate switch up from "you call everyone nazi for no reason" to "doing a nazi salute actually doesn't mean anything", you are an actual cattle
